A delivery driver was caught eating a customer's chips on a home video doorbell.
Nayf Storer caught the moment on a his spy camera, although he wasn't at home when the food arrived.
The driver rang his home bell at 10pm on March 14 after he ordered food from Peri Peri Pepper in Leicestershire.
But he was taken aback when he saw him eating chips through a mobile phone app which captured the moment.
While visiting the door, the driver is seen seen bending down then putting something into his mouth.
The restaurant has apologised to the family, but insisted the driver was picking up the order ticket and grabbing a biscuit to eat.
Nayf told LeicestershireLive he was "horrified" after watching it play out on camera.
He said: "I called my wife straight away to warn her not to touch the food. With what's happening in the world Covid-wise, you just have to be careful with all of that, especially because of my kids."
The family ordered three chicken wraps, one grilled chicken burger, four chips and four cans of pop. The 36-year-old said when he rang the restaurant they apologised for the actions of the driver.
He said: "I wasn't there at the time, so it came through on my phone. My wife hadn't seen what happened, so I spoke through my phone to try and warn her.
"I could see him putting the food down on the doorstep, but he blatantly put our food in his mouth and I called it out straight away. When I spoke to the restaurant, they fully apologised and sent out a fresh order.
"They said it was a new driver they had taken on but it still doesn't make up for why he did that. I just think it's totally disgusting, any food delivery order should be sealed in my opinion - just because of stuff like this. Not in a paper bag where food is so accessible.
He added: "We didn't touch it in the end, but if every driver did this it would be outrageous."
The restaurant owner, who did not wish to be named, said the driver was contracted and not an employee and apologised for his actions.
He said: "I just want the customer to be happy, so anything we can do to make this situation better we are willing."
